AteshgaRubyTeeth,

I get my ebooks on one of the following services:

  • Annas archive
  • IRC Highway
  • Z-library through TOR browser
AteshgaRubyTeeth,

Is this book more hard or soft scifi?

What did you like about the book, if you liked it al all.

Hows the spiciness level? 1-10 pepper scale.

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

Me

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

I finished it and read the sequel, loved the Shrike story line but there’s better scifi to read in my opinion.

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

Democratic Republic of Congo not being so democratic after all.

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

If you’re fed up with companies fucking you over there’s an alternative.

There software called Nextcloud which you can run on a server which works in comparable ways as Onedrive/Google Drive/Dropbox/etc. works.

You could host it yourself on a server if you know how.

If you’re not familiar with forwarding ports or setting static IP adresses you can rent some server space from Hetzner where Nextcloud is included.

I also only read English for a long time instead of my own language.

I picked up some books in my native language and was pleasantly surprised.

The language in itself doesn’t matter but I could notice the writer was from my culture. There’re slight cultural references in books written by people from my culture.

In books from American writers theres also these cultural references which I understand because I grew up on the internet but still it’s not my culture.

I would recommend to check if you’re country/culture has some literature award prizes and check out some of the top books. Make sure to try a couple as a well reviewed book might not mean it’s a good fit for you.

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

Due to pop culture (movies, shows, games, etc.) I learned English. I also picked up two other languages due to school and influences from vacations.

So I’m fluent in three languages (Dutch, German and English) and can speak enough French to manage on vacations.

I read most of my books in English because I like to read books in their original language. I read a lot of hard scifi, this is a pretty specific genre and there’s little books in Dutch hard scifi books.

In Dutch I read general novels with no specific genre.

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

Don’t think so, it’s just that I see people around me drinking a few and calling it a night these festive holidays.

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

In the past I was very absolute in many ways and I’ve changed this in other aspects in my life.

I’m wondering if I can do the same with alcohol.

It just feels like I have something special by not drinking for this many years.

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

I’m wondering if I’m still the guy who only saw the percentage of alcohol on the beer menu.

On the other hand might be a bit dangerous to try and see if I still am.

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

Just take it one day at a time and you’ll get there

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

Yeah but I constantly have this little goblin in the back of my head saying this time it’ll be different.

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

For me drugs, in moderation, do enhance life. A beautiful mushroom trip opening my mind to be able to see new patterns. Losing my sense of self in a ketamine trip was also a profound experience in realizing a lot of how we think is a construct and not inherently “real”.

The world, for me, is not so black and white.

That’s why I was playing with the thought of having a drink again. Now that the holidays are over the urge has lessened and I can continue my life of not drinking.

I might move again. (Or not) (lemy.lol)

I moved from Lemmy.ml because I liked the name of Lemmy.world and it ran a newer Lemmy version which meant I could make communities. I moved from Lemmy.world because they defederated from piracy communities they didn’t even host (but for some reason still kept the small piracy community they DID host) From thelemmy.club...

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

I’ve created my account at .world, anything I missed? Seems to work fine for me

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

So this would mean I wouldn’t see some piracy related content? Because I’m subscribed to some piracy communities and I think I can see the content.

I’m not really up to date with how the links between the different Lemmy instances work

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

Thanks for the information. This is putting me off on Lemmy a bit, feels like I got to keep up with the latest instance drama to ensure I have a good experience.

Guess that’s the trade of with a decentralized system for now.

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

There is something better than a robot, it’s the supermarket. Never ever am I making puff pastry again.

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

Pentax ME SLR camera, bought by my uncle in the 70s. Got some dents and scratches but it’s still taking beautiful pics.

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

Weed isn’t legal in The Netherlands, the sale of weed is only condoned. Meaning the coffee shops who sell weed cant legally purchase it.

As far as the laws concerned it magically appears.

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

Can imagine buying this if you’re in an long distance relationship and into chastity.

The company is the bad guy here, there’s no need to victim blame just because their kink doesn’t match yours.

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

Same for me, I can only listen to audio books when I drive. It requires too much focus to be listening whilst working.

AteshgaRubyTeeth,

Thanks for answering. That seems like a logical explanation. After having thought about this some more I’ve decided not to prebook my train ticket as it’s going to cause sone stress as I don’t know exactly how long customs and getting my bags is going to take. There’s too many variables to accurately determine the time of departure from Shinagawa. It seems that the Hikari Shinkansen on the Tokaido line is going pretty regularly.

I’ll look up digital Suica card, seems to me it could come in handy.

Edit: The digital Suica card can only be added if the region for the phone is set too Japan.
